DarkSpace

DarkSpace is a Massively Multiplayer Online Game set in the time of space travel and interstellar warfare. The universe has become a tumultuous place in the future of political infighting, economic sanctions and diplomatic posturing. All of the factions have high hostility towards one another with a few outposts staying neutral, at least initially, to determine their best interest.

Players start out as an ensign in the midst of a human civil war intensified by reports of an alien species aggressively spreading its domain throughout the known universe. Beginning with small crafts, you work your way up the ranks toward the ultimate goal of Grand Admiral, capable of commanding capital ships and planning the core strategics of your faction.

In this online universe, hundreds of players come together to forge alliances in a pulse-pounding struggle for mankind’s destiny. Mission goals will vary from pilot to pilot and completed objectives will bring favor to that faction’s existence in the galaxy. The fate of the galaxy relies on your coordination with your team. In such an unpredictable universe, objectives will be obtained and rival borders will be pushed back only with teamwork on a massive scale.

Players will need to choose their ships wisely, as each ship type fulfills its own versatile and vital role within the faction. A scout will reveal enemy positions as it lifts the fog of war, while combat-equipped heavy cruisers tear into the enemy forces with relentless speed and force. Planetary invasions are carried out with high-capacity infantry transports, and subsequent security is insured by engineering ships that rebuild and stabilize the planet’s buildings.

With all of its influential forces acting as one, the universe of DarkSpace continues to evolve. In the opening moments of gameplay, the dominant factions are human with a mysterious and advanced alien species silently closing in from the galactic rim. In the meantime, neutral and radical bodies with agendas of their own will force players to deal with the circumstances they create within their own borders.

Wurm Online

Wurm Online is a community-centric fantasy MMORPG fully developed in Java. The world has a real economy with a fixed pool of money and resources, and almost all items in the world are created by other players.

When the game was initially launched, it was pretty much just only a huge forest with mountain ranges and water, it is up to the players to build the towns and create the items needed for both everyday use and more exotic practices. Wurm Online neither has levels nor hitpoints. Instead, you have a set of skills that define your character, and a list of any unhealed wounds the character has.

Gameplay is very down to earth and community-based for most players, with each town serving as a small community. Towns also remain safe as long as the computer controlled guards are alive. You won’t be able to attack other players or perform any other illegal activity inside the town without first killing all the guards. On the Home server PvP is limited and considered illegal, you may remain on the Home server as long as you wish to build up your skill or just terraform the land to your wish. PvP is fully enabled on the Wild server (which is also free of resource cap).

Gameplay is totally free at first and access limited to the Home server, but if you wish to develop your character beyond basic skills and access the Wild server, you will have to spend a monthly fee.
